Ask HN: Advice on Writing Bilingual App?
1 point by cjohnson318 on Feb 14, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I can do something like `isEspanol ? Cosas : Things` everywhere, but I'd like to be able to support a third language at some point if I needed to. Does anyone have strong opinions about building an app for more than one language in a sane and sustainable way?


Have your text pulled from a database table and then key it by chosen language.


Okay, thanks!


The term you wanna look up is Localization


Oh, okay, cool. I thought that just referred to punctuation, and LTR vs RTL systems. Thank you!
